Like every company, there is some good stuff and some trash. The materials tend to be the key to which is which.

Anything made of solid wood or laminated wood is great because it will take knocks and bumps and ast basically forever. Things like chairs and tables.

Lots of their all-metal stuff is good. One of their desk lamps with springs is a design classic, very cheap and amazing value.

Their non-stick kitchen pans are very good value as is most of their kitchen stuff, including glass, ceramics and some plastic stuff.

Anything made of MDF or manufactured wood is just pure trash.
> And as a self-described social media and communications expert, she should have known that using her position of power to shame/snitch on someone could carry consequences.

Exactly. She knew better and was sophisticated enough to discern what was proportionate to the situation.

To be fair, the DC metro is among the cleanest in the NE USA. It's not North Korea clean, but it's far better than NYC and Philly. The reason it's clean is because the system does a decent job of policing the trains and hires enough people to keep it clean.

I've seen people eat entire large pizzas on NY subways, I've seen people eat massive wet smelly hoagies in Philly and deliberately plop a handful of the onions on the floor of the train like it was nothing. I can at least understand her outrage, but she could have handled it differently.

Maybe she took the "if you see something, say something" directive a bit too seriously?

Most furniture from 30+ years ago is broken. The older it gets, the more likely it is to have been broken. For your grandparents (and the folks they passed it on to), it means: You were able to have space for the table all the years, and didn't move into a place where it didn't fit. It means it didn't have accidents. Do you have chairs that came with it - or did they break too (very common)? If you do have the chairs, are they sturdy enough for a child to climb on and wiggle in? (many aren't).

It means they didn't have a fire or break the table when moving it (if they moved over the years).

It means they could wax it and so could everyone else. It means they could do repairs when needed. It means that it didn't rot despite waxing.

It means that you (and/or other family members) also had a space for it: If you bought an old piece used, it meant that there was an avenue to sell it.

And a bunch of things like that. 90 year old furniture isn't the norm, and can hardly be used to verify that older things are made better (and besides, they had some cheap stuff too).

The phrase itself is a fine rallying call and most people agree. However, the organization and members there of have been associated with communists and anarchists (if I recall one of the board members blew up a room in the Capital). Their goal (if you watch the lobbying) has less to do with reducing violence and more to do with breaking down society. They received $10b in funding recently, why? Where was the money from? Where was the community rebuilding?

There's a difference between a stock that doesn't get you dividends and an item with a sensible expected worth. Sure, it's hard to put a concrete price on a 2x4, but you at least understand what value people see in it - the way supply and demand affect the price are reflections of the worth of lumber as a building material (or whatever else).

But the price of a stock is nonsense - if you don't own enough to influence the company, and the stocks don't pay out, then the price is just money that moves in and out of your account. You can't even really say that the price of a stock is an agreement of its arbitrary value; you sell the stock because you expect it to go down, and you sell the stock to someone else who expects it to go up. If you buy a stock at the peak, you are paying the highest ever price for its lowest ever value.
Ironically, paying NY Times is quite literally cash for billionaires. Your money is subsidizing Carlos Slim's investment and his agenda.

Similarly, the Washington Post is a mouthpiece for Jeff Bezos, and all cash made just subsidizes his own investment and agenda.

Oh hey, more fearmongering and horrible clickbait about Firefox, it had been a few hours without some!

Firefox just dropped the single site browser feature. The thing that was hidden under a flag for the executable, that you had to actually dig for quite a bit to find. The thing that didn't work that well to begin with. Link in your site that redirects to another site? Well, your window is now a... multiple site browser, because it's going to stay in there.

But no, surely it's Firefox moving away from a key piece of the open web, and not because the feature never worked that well in the first place. Or that barely anyone used it.

In fact, if we had had a centralized Rwanda-like medical drone delivery network in place, I think COVID-19 vaccine distribution would’ve been much better. (Although that’s as much about centralization and organization than it is about flying electric robots...)

Last-mile delivery to medical clinics at 80mph night and day, rain or shine, straight line ignoring traffic or geography is a pretty massive advantage for just-in-time logistics... it makes the concern about deep cold chain for Pfizer much less pressing.

In the UK we've seen a fascinating evolution from skeptic societies to science denial conspiracy theorists. To _massively_ simplify what's a relatively complex piece of sociological weirdness: using your intuition about how the world works is a good heuristic for spotting charlatans, but it fails you badly when the science tells you something that doesn't accord with your intuition.
See, you've just discovered what the article calls a crony belief.

The answer is that this is not a factual statement about reality. It's a statement about ethics - is this ethical according to your ethical system and beliefs? Ethical beliefs are subjective and always boil down to "I feel this is good".

So this is really a question about what emotions you feel.

I think it's still a useful term. To make a company socialist, all you have to do is distribute the companies shares to the workers, rather than shareholders. Now you have a co-op and the workers own the means of production, and can vote on the board of directors or set it up however, since they own it.

I'd say that most people in Europe (especially in Eastern Europe) associate "socialism" with the failed Eastern Bloc socialist countries. "Social democracy" or "social market economy" would be more correct terms. All current European countries have capitalist economies, they're just more regulated in favour of the people than in other parts of the world. There's a lot of wiggle room between a state-controlled planned economy (traditionally called "socialism") and 18th century style capitalism.

> in any situation and on any public or private property, is far more destructive in my opinion.

I think this is perhaps a straw man. Nobody is asking to protect unrestricted speech in all private venues.

Would it be so bad to make it illegal for large services that have private DMs to snoop/censor those, such as we do presently for large services that have private telephone calls?

The dichotomy isn't public/private. The phone company is private and they aren't allowed to tap your phone (unless they're doing it for the government), and they're not allowed to shut off your service because you called members of the "wrong" political party too often.
You don't need to worry about whether the image is in the cache or not.

If you have to hit the server on that static URL, you write a request handler that will always give you back a new image with a new ID encoded in the pixels. Think of it like dynamic page generation on the server side, but for an image instead. Every time you hit the same URL you get a different image.

On the client you can decode that ID and use it throughout your code, in network requests, etc., to track user activity.

If the image is already cached you just decode the ID and use it as described above. All the browser cares about is associating a URL with a resource: it doesn't know or care that the resource in question changes every time it's asked for.

Also, the client code literally doesn't need to care whether the ID is from an image in cache or an image returned from the server.

The server can simply tie all activity for a given ID together on the back end.

This is one way of doing it: there are probably others. I'm certainly no expert.
> Btw, do you think there is a difference between 25GB single layer and 100GB M-Discs regarding the media robustness and safety of data?

As i understand it, the 100GB discs add another data layer, and assuming it works like all other optical media, this is achieved by angling the laser at a different angle, so logically a scratch on the physical media will incur read errors on another layer.

Apart from physical damage, the media density is higher.

I would assume that the 25GB discs have a longer lifetime than the 100GB ones, but I have no illusions that either of them will last a millennia. If the media is still readable 1000 years from now, let’s hope they still make optical drives to read them :-)

I’ll be happy if they last 10-20 years, and considering some of the early CD ROM disc that were burned are still readable despite using dye (which degrades) I’d say there’s a good chance of that either size will survive just fine.

A managers salary correlates with how many subordinates he has, the more lazy people the better since then he can motivate to expand the team with even more lazy people. It all works as long as the managers superiors don't notice the entire department is lazy, so as long as butts are in seats the manager will be happy since it makes him look good for his managers.
Maybe publishing the IP addresses of those is the real "show HN" that we'll see next week.
> What does the price of anything mean?

That's a bit more philosophical than what I was getting at. What I mean is: why do people say it is good for the stock price when a company is doing well if the price of the stock is completely decoupled (in the case of no dividends) from the company's performance? Or am I mistaken and the price is not actually decoupled?

Apart from meetup.com I'd say that eventbrite.com looks pretty good. There is also https://mobilizon.org/en/ which seems to be federated, so you have the option to self host
The exact same thing happen to me with a high profile professor who sits on editorial boards of top conferences. He was interested in shilling his dataset far and wide, and will do what ever it takes to show the "value add" of his stuff to other tasks. The smart ones just gave him the number the wanted. I did the work and told him the value add is dubious at best. He found someone else to gave him the number he wanted to tell the story he pre-determined, and made claims in the papers that didn’t even line up with the published results in that very paper. The music goes on and the whole experience is a complete waste of life.

I've used both Btrfs and Zfs as Linux root filesystems and at the time I tested (about 4-5 years ago) Btrfs had much worse performance. I've heard that Btrfs greatly improved performance on recent kernels though.

What bothers me about Zfs is that it uses a different caching mechanism (ARC) than Linux page cache. With ARC you actually see the memory used in tools like htop and gnome system monitor (it is not cool seeing half your memory being used when no programs are running). ARC is supposed to release memory when needed (never tested though), so it might not be an issue.

After about an year of playing with both filesystems on my Linux laptop, I decided the checksumming is not worth the performance loss and switched back to ext4, which is significantly faster than both filesystems. Still use ZFS on backup drives for checksumming data at rest and easy incremental replication with `zfs send`.

React Native Web (https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web) is a nice solution for better cross-compatibility between React Native and React DOM.

> I've never really understand what the price of a stock actually means.

This plays into the theory of the bigger fool. If a stock isn't issuing dividends, it's either profiting and storing large amounts of cash or losing money. If there's profiting and storing cash (the Apple model), you purchase the stock on the thoughts that the board can be replaced with a board that will take that cash and dividend it out. If the company is just losing money, you purchase stocks on the thought that they can turn it around become profitable for either dividends or for stashing cash.

I suspect public reaction would depend on how media decides to spin it:

- poor starving people just trying to feed their families and in order to survive, will take any job and are being exploited to this end by <cartels/greedy corporations/etc>

or

- dirty scumbags killing innocent animals and cutting down swathes of protected forest just to make a quick buck

or any other narrative that sells clicks, not to say all media is corrupt/greedy, but it sure seems like most public reactions are based on media narratives.

> I know I can easily switch it to Dvorak without having to install some drivers

This was the deciding factor. I have even developed my own keyboard layouts for assignments using genetic programming and I have a pet project using a chorded keyboard, but I wanted to have something relatively standard and well known and likely to be supported by keycap manufacturers. I'm sure there are better layouts, but Dvorak being a well-known standard trumps most of them.

If you want to fix furniture, you need space and tools, so you need bigger houses (or the ability to move the furniture to a community spot) and tools. Tools will generally be made of metal, and needs factories to make these tools. Some of the parts are available freely: I'm guessing not all are.

Manufacturing will need to be different as well if your pieces aren't designed to be repaired in such a way: Who knows if this would be more environmentally friendly.

Not to mention that it is a skill, so a repair might not even repair it but break it further - but now we've made the tools and things on top of the furniture (that didn't even use up scraps of wood, but caused them).

I don't buy this narrative. Don't thermal pastes (at least the old ones) also dry up? "Repasting" old laptops/gpus seems to be a common advice on tech forums, at least a few years ago. If they're doing it for the planned obsolescence they really didn't need to go with the expensive liquid metal, they could just use the shitty thermal paste.
Seems to me that the core issue here is at-will employment. Currently, it is triggered by political purity spiral, but in other times there may be other impulses to cancel people.
